The makers of Parasakthi, starring Sivakarthikeyan and directed by Sudha Kongara, have announced that the movie will hit theatres on January 14, targeting the Pongal holiday.

The announcement was made with a video featuring glimpses of Siva and Ravi Mohan.

The final schedule of Parasakthi commenced early in August after a delay caused by the ED raids at the sites related to the film's production company, Dawn Pictures, due to money laundering charges. Set in the 1960s, the film will revolve around the events that led to the anti-Hindi agitation against the then-ruling Congress party.

Parasakthi also stars Atharvaa and Sreeleela in crucial roles, with the latter marking her Tamil debut.

Parasakthi marks the first collaboration between Sivakarthikeyan and Sudha Kongara. The director's regular collaborator, GV Prakash, is the composer of the film, with the technical crew rounded out by cinematographer Ravi K Chandran, editor Sathish Suriya, and action choreographer Supreme Sundar.

Sivakarthikeyan was last seen in Madharaasi, by AR Murugadoss, with films by Cibi Chakravarthy and Venkat Prabhu in the pipeline. He had also revealed that a project with the director duo Pushkar-Gayathri is under discussion.
